DateThursday, September 10, 2009 at 8:29PM | By AuthorFranck Tabouring

Mike Judge

Just recently, I had the chance to participate in a brief round-table interview with writer/director Mike Judge, creator of "Office Space," "Beavis and Butt-Head" and "King of the Hill." He was in town to promote his latest comedy "Extract," and here's the most important stuff we talked about.

Describing "Extract," which opened nationwide last week and stars Jason Bateman, Mila Kunis and Ben Affleck, Judge said, "It’s like 'Office Space' but this time it’s sympathetic to the boss, the guy who owns the place."

Review: “Extract”

DateSunday, September 6, 2009 at 3:21PM | By AuthorFranck Tabouring

G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra

Seen on: August 12, 2009

The players: Director: Mike Judge Writer: Mike Judge, Cast: Jason Bateman, Mila Kunis, Kristen Wiig, Ben Affleck, J. K. Simmons

Facts of interest: Mike Judge also directed "Office Space" and created "Beavis and Butthead."

The plot: Joel (Jason Bateman) is an extract plant owner who's having big problems at home and at work.

Our quick thoughts: Mike Judge, creator of “Office Space,” returns to the big screen with “Extract,” a deliciously funny comedy about a desperate white-collar guy who just doesn’t know how to handle his troubles at home and at work.

One-minute reviews for August 2009 movies

DateSunday, August 30, 2009 at 2:27PM | By AuthorFranck Tabouring

Jeremy Piven in The Goods

The month of August 2009 is nearing its end, and it's time to go back and briefly look at the films I enjoyed and those I pretty much hated this month. These are one-minute reviews for all the films I've seen in theaters during August of 2009. Feel free to add yours in the comment section below.

• "Inglourious Basterds" - Quentin Tarantino's WWII drama is a true masterpiece, and even though the film doesn't offer us the usual Tarantino action, it boasts an intriguing atmosphere and a massive dose of brilliant, memorable dialogue. By the way, if Christoph Waltz doesn't get an Oscar nod, I'll eat a broom.

Two funny clips from Mike Judge's 'Extract'

DateSaturday, August 22, 2009 at 4:05PM | By AuthorFranck Tabouring

Jason Bateman in Mike Judge's Extract

In case you missed them, here are two funny clips from Mike Judge's new comeody "Extract." I'm not really allowed to share my full review you quite yet, but what I can say is that this one's really hilarious. Judge fans should be able to easily appreciate the humor in "Extract," and I can only recommend you check it out when it opens Sept. 4, 2009.

Starring Jason Bateman in the lead role, the film follows an extract factory owner who's having a whole lot of trouble at work and at home. Mila Kunis, David Koechner, Dustin Milligan, Kristen Wiig, Clifton Collins Jr., Matt Schulze, J.K. Simmons and Ben Affleck co-star. It's a great cast, and you'll love the characters they're portraying.

Poster Madness: 'Whiteout;' 'A Serious Man;' 'Extract'

DateSaturday, August 8, 2009 at 1:50PM | By AuthorFranck Tabouring

Another week is coming to an end, and it's time to go back and check up on recent movie poster releases on the Web. Check out one-sheets for "Whiteout" and "A Serious Man," among others, below.

The first poster below is for Dominic Sena's upcoming action thriller "Whiteout," in which Kate Beckinsale plays a deputy marshal heading to Antarctica to investigate a ruthless murder before the threatening arctic winter begins. It's a simple sheet, but it looks decent nonetheless.

Next up is the new one-sheet for Ethan and Joel Coen's new film "A Serious Man," about a physics professor whose life starts to fall apart when his wife decides to leave him, his lazy brother refuses to move out, his son has problems at school, and his daughter is trying to get a nose job.

Last week I posted the first (and funny!) trailer for Mike Judge's upcoming comedy "Extract," and today I found the teaser poster for the film at IMP Awards. You can check it out after the jump. In the film, Jason Bateman stars as a flower extract factory owner (Bateman) who's having trouble at work and at home. Also starring are Mila Kunis, Kristen Wiig, J.K. Simmons, Ben Affleck and Clifton Collins Jr. It's a great cast, and I really enjoyed this first footage from the film.
